Up in the sky, and down in a crypt.

Today was a huge day of touristic sightseeing. It began with a coffee with mum at the local Italian-style cafe in Catford. Then we said bye-bye to her, jumped on a train at Catford Bridge and headed into the city. We got off at Waterloo East and walked up to the Thames. I took advantage of the uninteresting walk by catching up on some sleep. When I woke we were in a funky restaurant, and there were lots of other babies around. The cute waiter gave me a balloon to play with, and I also played with a fun almost-1-year-old girl called Robin while my dad finished his yummy burrito. We then walked along the river bank, then up on to the London Eye. Great fun! I’m certainly not scared of hights (unlike my dad). After that we walked across the bridge, past Big Ben, and into Westminster Abbey. We had a good look at the tomb of Margaret Cavendish, a 17th century philosopher my mum thinks is great. We then saw lots of other very ornate tombs, and I kept getting too excited - dad kept saying “shhhh” and looking embarrassed.
